Doesn't the SCOTUS ruling make the documents case more important?

[Raven123]

If TFG took those documents after he left office, he was no longer POTUS and therefore is not immune. I wonder what Jack Smith is thinking.

[RockRaven]

1. Nothing is going to happen in the document case as long as Loose Cannon

has control over it, so it really doesn't matter.

[Mr.WeRP]

2. Thomas wrote in his concurring opinion that the appointment of Jack Smith was illegal...

He is telling Cannon to make the decision that the case is invalid due to this; Smith will appeal and it will go up to the Supreme Court. How do you think they will rule?

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. They have already ruled Smith's appointment was legal previously. nt

[Mr.WeRP]

6. Just saying what happened

He gave implicit instructions to Cannon in his concurring opinion. It would not surprise me to see this court overturn one of its prior rulings.

4. It makes the election critical. Nothing else matters. Either we win the WH and Congress or our Country is gone.

[Silent Type]

5. I bet he took records before leaving office. But that was illegal, so don't think ruling

makes much difference (except for BS motions trump's lawyers file using the initial confusion over it).

I guess Cannon will have to make a formal ruling, which will be a slow process for her and I suppose -- if she is fully in the tank for trump -- she could rule it's an "official act." That would surely be appealed.

None of these cases were going to trial before the election, anyway. We still need to beat trump at polls, and quit praying court proceedings somehow spare us.

7. Please don't get me wrong

I have no delusions about the courts. Given the ruling, I just wonder if Smith’s team will shift gears. They will have to re-evaluate the J6 case. I just thought the documents case would percolate to the top if indeed TFG’s crimes occurred after he left office. And some did.
